Part 5/9:
However, there is a growing realization that the computational model may not fully encapsulate the essence of consciousness. Some theorists are looking deeper, suggesting that microtubules within neurons might play a crucial role in processing information. This approach posits that even single-celled organisms can exhibit intelligent behaviors without the complex synaptic networks that are typically associated with higher consciousness. This insight provokes deeper questions about the nature of consciousness beyond just complexity.
